    Hey Shakers,

    Plan is to get me grove on for minimum of 60 minutes today...going out to dinner and the wine will flow which means I will suffer through a workout tomorrow...why do I punish myself so???

    Happy Friday!!!

    Your right, for me, MFP is off by a lot when I add in the true values from the HRM

    Hello All!!
    Hope everyone is having a good weekend!! I am and getting ready to go dancing tonight. I have no workouts planned today and I don't count cleaning and dancing. Will just be extra since I am not wearing a HRM to the steppin party. Keep wiggling and jiggling guys!

    And welcome to the new ones!


    Cnbethea,
    Good job!! We have lives and we can't get the minutes every week. The important thing is that you are working out regularly and having quality workouts at that. Keep it moving!!!

    Carleen,
    A heart rate monitor is worth every nickel. I have been using mines for over 5 years now and do not workout without it. It makes sure I am working in the zone and working hard enough. As our bodies get more fit, it does not take as much to get our HR up and we burn less calories. Even when walking it makes you work in your HR range and not slow poke around.

    Choco,
    You go girl!!! Congrats on another awesome week!!........:-) Keep up the good work. I have 55 more min to get in tomorrow to get 360 and I will get that for sure.

    MY WEEK:
    Mon: 0

    Would it be alright if I start Monday? I wasn't with you for the rest of the month so was just wondering if that was a problem or not.

    LAST WEEK:
    Mon: 0
    Tues: 75 min @ gym (788 cal)
    Wed: 70 min @ gym (784 cal)
    Thur: 70 min @ gym (722 cal)
    Fri: 75 min @ gym (822 cal)
    Sat: 0
    Sun: 0

    Total = 305 min (3220 cal)

    Well I did not make it last week but I will take it. I am going for 2500 calories burned this week because I know I have a lot on my plate the next 2 weeks and will have to shorten my workouts and I will only commit to 2 or 3 days at the gym. I will have to squeeze in DVD workouts at home more the next 2 weeks vs. gym workouts. I may add some lunch time walks also to see if this will help me get the 360 also.

    But officially I am going for 2500 calories this week! Have a good week everyone!!
